Under Pressure Drilling

​

At MTS Contracting Ltd., we specialise in under pressure drilling, a critical service in the realm of pipeline management that ensures uninterrupted system operations. Our team employs advanced techniques, such as hot tapping, which involves the precise cutting of a hole into an existing pressure main without any system interruption. This process uses a tapping sleeve and valve to enable the cutting, providing a permanent branch connection.
